post send your docs to your kindle 25.12.2011 15:01

I got a new Kindle 4 for Christmas.

I like to read, I like to read often and I like to read a lot. That's why I hope this Kindle perfectly fits my needs. Another bonus point will be that it makes my printer mostly useless, as I can carry around my exercises in just one device (including the whole scripts and slides for the lectures).

For easy and fast sending of documents right down to my kindle I use my @kindle-address with this simple script:

Just list your files and they get send:

kindle docs/uni/afi_skript.pdf

Pass -c to let Amazon convert them first.

Some more links:

  • instapaper.com - A simple tool to save web pages for reading later.
  • delivereads.com - I heard they sent out pretty good stories.
  • calibre - Pretty good to organize your ebooks on your computer.
  • kcollect - Did not test it yet, but I hope it works. Managing collections right on the kindle is a pain in the ass.
